Best novel online free at novelhall.com

Rhett arrived at the cave and entered right away. He put the bundle on the ground and hugged his girlfriend tightly, he planted a kiss on her forehead. "I'm back! Are you happy?" he asked.

Sabrina's eyes were already swarmed with tears of happiness. "Yes, I'm so happy! I can't contain my happiness. Right now, my heart was jumping up and down due to gladness. I'm so thankful that you're able to return before nightfall. You stayed true to your promise and I'm grateful for that. How's you family back home?" she asked.

"They're fine. When I went home, only my mother was there. My father and my siblings were hunting in another place so I wasn't able to see them. But I promise my mother that I will visit them again next week during weekend," Rhett said. "I told you about it early so that you can already condition your mind regarding my next visit to my family. During that time, my family might request me to sleep there for the night..."

Sabrina sighed a bit. "It's okay, you will always have my permission to visit them because they're your family. Besides you already proved to me that you always honor your promise, so I'm satisfied," she said.

"Thank you, my love!" Rhett kissed her lips. "I love you so much!" he said.

"I love you more," Sabrina replied sweetly.

The couple's lovey-dovey moments were interrupted by Azere who arrived at the cave. She was glad that Rhett returned to the cave as promised. "Nice to see you return here so fast, lad," she commented.

Rhett looked at Grandma Azere and smiled brightly. "I missed Sabrina so much, that's why I return early," he said with a grin.

Azere smiled. It's so nice of Rhett to miss his ugly girlfriend. He is indeed one of a kind guy. Sabrina is very lucky to meet a guy like him. "Dinner is ready. Can I have a word with Amara for a moment?" she asked.

"Sure, Grandma," Rhett replied.

Rhett grabbed the basket and the bundle on the ground. "Let's head to the chamber, my love. I want to eat dinner now because I'm hungry," he said. He looked at Azere. "Thanks for the food, Grandma!"

"You're welcome," Azere responded. "Tell Amara that I'm waiting for her..."

"I will!" Sabrina said.

The couple left the entrance of the cave and went to the chamber.

Rhett bring the bundle and the basket inside the chamber while Sabrina went to Amara's room.

Amara was sitting on the bed.

"Grandma wants to talk to you," Sabrina informed her.

"What for?"

Sabrina shrugged. "I dunno. Just go there at the entrance and asked Grandma what does she want this time. Ah, I remember now... maybe it's all about that broken bracelet. Maybe she already fixed it and wants to give it back to you since it's her gift for you," she said.

"Ah, I see... the bracelet. Okay, I'll see Grandma Azere," Amara said and left the bed.

The women left the chamber. Amara went to the entrance of the cave while Sabrina returned to the chamber. When she arrived there, Rhett was already eating his meal with gusto.

Sabrina put food on the plate and bring it to Amara's room along with a cover. She put it on the bed and left the room. She returned to the chamber and eat her dinner with her boyfriend.

Meanwhile...

At the entrance of the cave.

Amara looked at Azere in the eyes but she refused to look at the invisible woman standing beside her. "Grandma, I'm here!" she said.

Azere fished out the bracelet from the pocket of her skirt. "Can you wear this bracelet for a moment and make sure you don't break it? Please?"

Amara nods her head. "Yes, Grandma. Give it to me," she said.

Azere throws the bracelet at her and Amara catches it.

Amara put the bracelet around her wrist. She stared at it for a few minutes. "The beads are cute," she commented casually. The truth is the beads are not cute, the color is dull. And she know why the old woman insisted that she will wear the bracelet for a few minutes. Good thing she was already prepared for this scenario.

Minutes went by.

She looked at Azere. "Grandma, my stomach is grumbling. Can I go back to my chamber now and eat my dinner? Please?" she said.

Azere nods her head. "Okay, you may go now..."

Amara left the entrance of the cave, went back to her chamber, and eat dinner.

Azere also left the cave and went back o the hut with the invisible Olga walking beside her.

When they arrive at the hut, Olga was disappointed that the bracelet didn't work.

"Did you see that-?" Olga asked in frustration.

Azere sighed. "Stop frustrating yourself. Maybe she's a normal person just like us," she said.

Olga chortled. "You call us normal people? That's new!" she said and continue laughing merrily.

Azere rolled her eyes. "Obviously, I'm normal, but you are not!"

Olga erupted in a burst of loud laughter. "I'm normal too, normal looking on the outside but crazy inside!"

Azere burst out in peals of laughter. "You're crazy indeed!"

They laughed at each other's jokes, just like old times.

A few minutes later.

"Alright, enough of the laughter. Let's get back to the current situation. When are we going to visit the Holybel Summit? I'm excited to go there!" Olga asked.

"I'm planning to go this week. Now that Rhett is already back from visiting his family we can finally leave the women's care in his hands. Tomorrow when we return to the cave, we will inform the couple that we're going on a journey to a far away place to talk and beg Mother so that she will undo the curse that she had put on Sabrina," Azere said.

"Nice! Let's go this week! I can't wait to visit the Holybel Summit and maybe if were lucky. Mother will allow is to see the tournament," Olga said excitedly.

"Okay, let's do is this week then," Azere finally agreed.

A few minutes later.

Olga is ready to leave. "I'm going back to my place now. See you tomorrow morning," she said.

"Okay, bye. Goodnight, sweet dreams!" Azere replied.

"Night night!" Olga responded.

A few minutes later, Olga vanished from the hut.

...

Back at the cave.

After they finished eating and done washing the dirty dishes in the stream. The couple stayed in their chamber.

Inside Amara's chamber.

She laughed wickedly while staring at the bracelet for a long time.

Pfft! Those Grandma's, they think they will uncover her identity that fast, eh? They're wrong!

Anyways, no need to get riled up with them, not worth her time.

As much as she wanted to destroy the bracelet she won't do it because those women would be constantly asking where is the bracelet from now on. Since it's a gift, she had to wear it every time she goes to the entrance of the cave.

But no need to go there all the time... she can stay holed up inside her chamber for a long time until her mission is completed.

She saw the lovely couple pass by her chamber a while ago.

When Sabrina entered her chamber to bring her food, the girl was looking very happy.

She asked him, "Rhett is nice isn't it? He surely knows how to honor her promise that he will return before nightfall! And he did! I'm impressed!"

Sabrina smiled brightly. "Yeah, the best boyfriend ever!"

"What will you do if the man you love so much will no longer return here one day? What are you gonna do when he will abandon you?" Amara asked.

Sabrina smiled. "That will never happen!" she retorted. "Eat your dinner. I'll take my leave now," she said and left the chamber, avoiding Amara's question, not wanting to entertain negative thoughts in her mind. She wants to avoid destroying her happiness tonight.

Amara was left alone in her chamber pondering about the question for a while.

She looked at the food and salivated, time for dinner! She attacked the food with gusto. In fairness, Grandma Azere is indeed a good cook, she can make any simple dishes taste delicious.

Half an hour later.

Sabrina returned to the chamber and retrieved the plates and utensils. She looked at Amara and bid her goodnight. "Goodnight, sweet dreams!"

"Thanks for the food! Goodnight!" Amara said.

Sabrina left Amara's room.

On her way back to the chamber she suddenly feels pity towards the woman, Amara will sleep in her room alone every night while she has Rhett by her side every day and every night. She's such a lucky woman despite her hideous look. She giggled happily.

When she returned to the chamber, Rhett was already removing the stuff that his mother put inside the bundle. "Come here my love. Look at my mother's gifts for you..." he said.

Sabrina's eyes sparkled in delight upon seeing the stuff on the bed. There are comb, mirror, hair ribbon, bracelets, necklaces, dresses, used coats, and biscuits. "OMG! All these are mine?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, it's all for you, my love. Why are you looking so happy? These things are simple to look at, nothing special about them..." Rhett commented.

Sabrina smiled. "Yeah, to you they are simple things but your mother give it to me, therefore I will treasure them," she responded.

"These are my mother's old stuff that she was no longer using so she gave them to you, I'm glad you like it!" Rhett said and kissed her head lovingly.

"Please, tell your mother I love her gifts so much!" Sabrina said.

"Okay, I'll tell her next week," Rhett said.

With childlike fascination, Sabrina spent the next hour admiring the beautiful gifts.

Rhett watched his girlfriend, amusement was flashing in his eyes.
